Quicksand Man

Quicksand man I am...

Sinking realization time...

A life saving epiphany
(I think)..

The more I struggle
the deeper I sink..

This muck won't loosen it's grip
til I let go
and stop being
self counterproductive..

Have a little more faith
in my natural buoyancy..

Kick back and relax..

Feel the warm sun on my face..

Then float out of this dire place..

And do a better job reading the signs
before I self destruct next time
